Brown Pre-College Alaska Trip

I am in 11th grade right now and I was wondering if anyone knows about the BEL Alaska program through Brown University. I am interested in attending and applying but am curious if it is worth the money. I am interested into going into either Wildlife Biology or Enviormental Science.

It would be more impressive if you took AP Bio, AP Env. Science and AP Capstone and did a independent research project than going for 2 weeks and spending $5500. Those programs do not help you get into college. If anything they just signal to the AOs that you are rich and can pay full tuition if admitted.

Just my 2 cents
